BCLib (Unofficial Forge & Fabric Port) — Minecraft 1.20.1
This project is an unofficial port of BCLib to Forge & Fabric for Minecraft 1.20.1.
What this project does
Provides the BCLib library on Forge & Fabric for Minecraft 1.20.1 (a dependency/utility library used by other mods, for example, Forge ports of BetterEnd/BetterNether).
The goal is to keep functionality as close to upstream as possible, with only porting/compatibility changes where required.
Why download it
Download this only if a mod/modpack requires BCLib on Forge or Fabric. BCLib is a library and typically does not add standalone gameplay content on its own. Required on: both client and server.
How this project differs from the original
- Loader/platform: Forge & Fabric (upstream is Fabric)
- Goal: compatibility for Minecraft 1.20.1 on Forge & Fabric
- Scope: upstream-accurate behavior where possible; compatibility fixes when needed
